Frustrated…

Filed Under: Family, Photography

I guess I need to ask more questions. I swear  TODAY was the evaluation. I thought that is what the lady said on the phone. NOOO this was just I am going to ask you a whole bunch of questions and get you to sign some papers and we will be back out in 1-2 weeks for the evaluation. Sorry that was a long run on sentence. I know they will help him and the program is great, I am just disappointed and frustrated. I got all worked up over nothing.  Now more waiting… They will call tomorrow or next week to set up the appointment. Continue to pray for us please. Thanks again for all your support. I know this is so very small compared to what a lot of people are going through, but he is my baby. I will keep you updated.

Some photos to brighten my day and yours hopefully.

Thanks again everyone. I love you all!!

    You never have to apologize for being frustrated about this. I'm not a mother, so I can't even IMAGINE what kind of suspense and worry you're going through right now. Keeping your family in my prayers.

    When it's YOUR baby, it's bigger than anything else :-) I'll be hoping for the best! Beautiful images too!

    I'll keep praying for you and Carsyn. Those cheeks, just want to kiss them! I adore the last picture, his smile is just adorable!!!!

    January 14, 2011 at 11:30 pm

    I love that 1st one with his tongue sticking out! Try to not worry yourself to death until the real evaluation happens..though I know that it will be hard not to. I still have your whole family in my prayers :)

    These are adorable! I'm sorry it's so drawn out. No one ever works fast. Hope everything goes well.
  7. Katherine says

    January 14, 2011 at 12:36 pm

    I've been thinking about you all. That must have been such a disappointment to not get any answers! Hoping you get some soon- and those pics are GREAT the second on is hilarious!
  8. Tara says

    January 14, 2011 at 10:27 am

    UGH, that is so frustrating. He is adorable and the pics are so cute. I would be upset too...keeping you all in my prayers.

    For some reason your new posts aren't showing up on my dashboard....weird. So sorry you weren't able to find anything out today. I'll be praying that you have peace and that you'll find out something soon. {{HUGS}}

    that stinks!! but those photos definitely can make you smile it made me. hes adorable and they look great.
  11. Helen says

    Ugh! That had to have been so frustrating! Sorry, Sarah :( That first shot cracked me up though with the tongue cracked me up!
  12. Nicolasa says

    January 13, 2011 at 10:10 pm

    Thinking of you and Carsyn. {Hugs} It will all work out.
  13. Angela says

    January 13, 2011 at 10:08 pm

    I'm sorry today wasn't what you were expecting and that you didn't get the answers you were hoping for. I know the waiting is so tough! I will keep all of you in my prayers. I love that second photo! He looks frustrated, too, but with such an adorable face!
  14. Karli says

    January 13, 2011 at 9:57 pm

    OK, those question marks at the end were "hearts" on my end - sorry!
  15. Karli says

    January 13, 2011 at 9:56 pm

    Oh Sarah, I'm so sorry! I am praying for Carsyn right now. Both of my boys had health issues when they were younger (different issues), and they're totally 100% fine now. I know there is NOTHING scarier than not knowing what is wrong. My heart goes out to you as I'm sure waiting is unbearable. I will keep you in my prayers! ???
  16. Kayla says

    January 13, 2011 at 9:37 pm

    Oh my goodness at the second picture. Too cute. I'm sorry you have to wait longer for answers. I'm still praying for both of you.
  17. Angee says

    January 13, 2011 at 8:51 pm

    I'm sorry for your frustrations. Thankfully it'll only be another week or two (although it'll seem like a lifetime). Carsyn has cheeks to die for!
  18. Ashley Sisk says

    January 13, 2011 at 8:48 pm

    That is frustrating but you'll stay in my prayers and these photos are adorable!
  19. Amber says

    January 13, 2011 at 8:06 pm

    I did enjoy the photos....for sure. I can only imagine that the waiting game is horrible. I will keep praying for you and Carsyn. If you have any PT questions, feel free to shoot me an email. I don't know that I will be able to provide a ton of information, but I might be able to help a little.
  20. kellyk says

    January 13, 2011 at 7:52 pm

    oh, those cheeks! that smile! he is so cute!
  21. Sarah @ 2paws Designs says

    January 13, 2011 at 7:48 pm

    What a cutie!! I confess, I just want to kiss those cheeks. :) Will definitely be lifting you all up in prayer. He's your baby and that makes him and his needs so very important. I'm confident the PT will help. We had a neighbor's son with similar issues and started therapy at 10mo. He's close to 2 now and won't slow down! Hang in there. I'm sure all the waiting is frustrating, but that will soon change. ((HUGS))
  22. SarahinSC says

    January 13, 2011 at 7:24 pm

    Oh, that really stinks! I know how hard it is when you think you might get some answers but just have to wait longer. Hang in there!!
  23. Reading Allowed says

    January 13, 2011 at 6:59 pm

    Oh wow how frustrating! You poor mama. In the meantime he is adorable, fwiw :) I love his expression in that second one and of course his smile is a million bucks. Hang in there.
  24. Andie says

    January 13, 2011 at 6:40 pm

    Hang in there, girlie. I will continue to pray for you and your family. In the meantime, enjoy that little booger. Take lots-o-pics and hang out with us for a little while! I know that probably doesn't help ya, but I tried. (((hugs)))
  25. Ambria D says

    January 13, 2011 at 5:22 pm

    Awww It's like he could tell you were upset and had a serious face on. SO dang cute!!! His smile really brightens my day up. I hope your day gets better!!! You are in my thoughts!
  26. Summer Crosbie says

    January 13, 2011 at 5:15 pm

    OMG. That 1st one is killer! I just want to pinch those cheeks. :)
  27. Kaitlyn says

    January 13, 2011 at 5:12 pm

    So adorable!
  28. Amy says

    January 13, 2011 at 5:10 pm

    Hope everything turns out. He as the biggest smile!
  29. Keli says

I'm still in awe of how far my library and plant r I'm still in awe of how far my library and plant room have come. Every time I step inside, I feel so happy to see my shelves filling up and my collections growing. 🙌🏼

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
